What is it, Jack? Afraid that you'll catch stupidity from talking to me? From your flash post I saw non-stationarity, one of my favorite issues and the bane of market modellers, but OOD? Didn't get that deference.
 
Wow, I have lost control of this thread. I really planned on teaching something. I will need to think of a plan to post here and teach something without it getting sidetracked like this.

I don't mind a little sidetracking, but when this happens it makes it hard to follow real context because a teaching post might be 3 pages from the orginal reference post and nothing in between is on topic.

I am sure that as a sponsor you can get tight moderation. Ask them to asswipe this one and forge ahead.

I think you are being a bit harsh. It is possible to find ideas which have trading value here, but it is as surprising as running into chewing gum stuck to the underside of your dinner table. If you think this place is dumb, how do you rate ZeroHedge?

I can count on one hand the ideas that have value, so, I'll share mine if you'll share yours?
 
Any poll should have an option "others".

I believe that:
  • not everything can be back tested
  • not everything that passes back testing will pass forward testing
  • some back testing might help in refining or discarding some ideas

Maybe the lesson to learn here is to stop waiting so long between your posts. If you're going to start off with a promise to present something, why give the trolls a chance to threadjack before you present it?

I already did. Your turn.

We were talking about ideas on this site? You haven't identified anything.

1) Jack Hershey's Method in Wealth Lab Pro. The code is available on the site. Run on .SPX Data
2) Price Physics. There isn't any other theory better at explaining market movement than this.
3) My writings on pairs trading.

So the voice of The Fly pleading "Help meeeeeee! Help meeeeee! I'm stuck beteen a Fib and a Dow didn't qualify as an idea?

Ideas must be articulated enough so that they can be tested. Fib and a dow is not one of those, and I'm sure you'd agree.
